I said at the outset that I respect everybody's right to protest, but I should have clarified. It is more about the hours and the overtime. I am not saying that this is not necessary; it is. However, when we are in here complaining about the lack of community policing and gardaí on the beat, I am trying to frame it in that context as to what it is as an overall proportion of the Garda budget. If the Minister does not have figures, I would love if the Garda had some analysis on this.
